They are all distributed in the U.S. and posted revenue last year of about $30 million on sales of 1.8 million cases.

Deerfield-based Beam said the sale of these cheaper brands will allow it to streamline its offerings and focus on the brands it has acquired over the last two years, including Pinnacle Vodka, Calico Jack rum and Skinnygirl Cocktails.

The deal is expected to close by the end of the month, but Beam will continue to make and bottle the brands through at least next year.
